DIPLO: Glory of War contact LOG

[DeepO]

PLEASE DON"T POST IN THIS THREAD!

It's strange that we didn't have a GoW log yet... oh well, better late then never.

There were a few messages before between Zeit and GoW, I don't know if these were important enough to log.

nye, please top this thread.

Ghengis, glad to meet you! A message has just been posted on our board to go look for our ambassador. We kind of forget who he was (well, both Alva and myself don't know for sure, and I think we're the only two awake atm). If we won't find our ambassador soon (<12h), you'll be contacted with an interim envoy. I'm not our foreign minister, though, Zeit is.

greetz,
DeepO

We now have contact with your civ and would like to know if there is anything you would like to trade for Horseback Riding. We should will have Mathematics next turn.

[DeepO]

Thanks GF.

It seems Zeit is our ambassador to you, he'll contact you probably from the moment he logs on.

I hope all goes well in your war, we are of course curious to what has been happening. It's too bad Trip's Ass gets trashed on another continent, so we can't even watch

DeepO

Great, here's some info for you from the save I am currently sitting on:

(Based on info from the Military Advisor screen)

omparitive Military Strengths:

are weak compared to:
Neu Demogyptica

are average compared to:
Roleplay
Gathering Storm

are strong compared to:
Vox Controlli
Lux Invicta

Since we are average compared to your military, you could assume these standings also apply to you team.

ND and us are at war with Lux, not for long though, Trip keeps abandoning his cities as soon as we find them.

And thanks in advance! I'm curious how ND got this powerful so fast, I thought we weren't doing bad either...

DeepO

If you give me your email I'll send you a shot of Trip's screen when he first saw the ND Swordsmen stack.

[DeepO]

Damn... I made a typo in last message: it should be steven_dot_bex_at_chello_dot_be
Sorry about that

[DeepO]

In response to a e-mail from GF, in which he offers us the screenie posted in ND's foreign office:

Thanks for the screenshot, GF, a pitty we already had it (posted yesterday on ND's website). By the Lux one, you're not referring to the one posted in the ND foreign office thread were you?

Anyway, thanks for sending it to me.

DeepO

[Harovan]

edit: never mind

[DeepO]

No, the other one was the pic Trip sent me of the
stack of 4 Swordsmen and 1 Spearman ND had adjacent to
Regio.

[zeit]

Sorry for being away- all kinds of exciting things seem to happen when i'm not checking in...

I sent this to GF:

Greetings, to GF of the Glory of War.

I'm sending this as i look at the preliminary report of the war you and ND are waging against Lux Invictia, i am sorry for the delay.
I hope all is going well on the fields of battle, although i am confident that the cries of Lux's warriors fleeing and perishing are loud indeed, the sheer distance between the warzone and our lands does not allow even our best scouts and listeners to see or hear it.

I have seen that ND and your army are strong compared to those of Vox, and i realize you won't be many difficulties in achieving your objectives. Which does raises interest- what is your goal for which you seek war with Lux- is it for land? glory? or simply a burning desire to wipe them off the face of the planet?

Once again, i'm sorry i havn't reached you up until now.

Respectfully

Zeit, Gathering Storm's Chief Diplomat, and Glory of War ambassador.

Re: Contact and Trades

-ghengis-

Thanks, if we can agree on a trade for Horseback Riding within the next couple of hours I will send it to your team and click accept so that you will have Horseback Riding at the start of your next turn.

Hi Ghengis

I posted it on our forum, so someone will get back to ASAP.

I think ZEIT is our ambassador to you, but I'm not 100% certain

The reply from GF: recieved on 16/2 15:56

Oor goal is primarily psychological, ND declared war after Trip first attempted to hunt down one of their undefenced settlers with a Warrior, chasing it halfway across the continent before it escaped.

Lux then moved Warriors into ND's cultural area and fortified them. Then they founded a city 1 tile away from one of ND's cities in an attempt to steal their Horse resource.

Finally, they invaded ND with two Warriors simultaneously and declared they were "scouting". ND then marched on the Lux city of Regio which Trip promptly abandoned.

What we know is:

ND has 3 cities, a stack of 4 Swordsmen and 1 Spearman plus additional troops in its cities.

Lux has two cities, 1 Spearman, and 3-4 Warriors, period.

Of all the units only one of ND's Swordsmen was a Veteran while all the rest (to our knowledge), both ND and Lux were either Regular or Conscript.

We are very interested in trading you Horseback Riding and helping you acquire any techs you do not already have. At that point we would like to coordinate tech research with you so that no civ is researching the same one thus speeding up research.

Vox is currently researching Polytheism, ND - Mathematics/Construction, Roleplay - Literature?, and we are researching Mapmaking.

my reply:

GF of the Glory of War.

Thank you for the info. It seems this war will be very short indeed, and it seems you will be on the winning side .

Regarding the tech trade- we are currently discussing the issue, and either DeepO or me will have a concrete as soon as possible, and since there is no risk both of us will lose the opportunity to make the trade anytime soon (the same can't be said for Lux...), there is no need to rush.

Yours
Zeit of the Gathering Storm.

A message from Panzer32, regarding tech and contact trade:

18/2- 17:08

Zeit,

Now that the Glory of War and the Gathering Storm have contact, the Glory of War has noticed that GS does not yet have contact with Lux Invicta or horseback riding. Therefore, the GoW asks GS what they would trade for these things.

Panzer32
Foreign Affairs Consul for the Glory of War

[zeit]

My reply:

Panzer32 consul for the Glory of War

As i have said in the message i have sent to GhengisFarb, the issue of tech and contact trade is still discussed between our members. When we will have an answer to your offers, it will be sent to your representative, and a deal could be sorted. As of now, no decision was made, so i'm afraid this will have to wait some more, please accept our foreign ministry apology for the delay in handling this issue.


Zeit of the Gathering Storm

[zeit]

I sent a refusal for tech trade to Panzer32, for now... (we've kept them waiting long enough):

Panzer32, consul of the Glory of War.

I am sorry to inform you that for the time being, our team is not interested in trading for those techs you have offered, but this might change in the future, hopefuly, and we could negotiate a tech trade.

I hope all is going well, and that the gods of war smile upon you.

Zeit, Chief diplomat of the Gathering Storm.
